Terrorism is understood to mean criminal acts of violence against people or things (such as murders, kidnappings, assassinations and explosive attacks) with the aim of achieving political, religious or ideological goals, spreading terror as a means of pressure against governments.

Terrorist methods are used mainly by ultra-right or racist, ultra-left, religious groups (now mainly Islamist, which is the best known and most dangerous type of terrorism in the early 21st century, but terrorist attacks were also perpetrated by extremists of other religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism) and nationalist or separatist.
